Does Eating Late at Night Promote Weight Gain?

June 29th, 2009

Hungry Monkey“It was really interesting to see that the monkeys who ate most of their food at night were no more likely to gain weight than monkeys who rarely ate at night,” said Elinor Sullivan, an OHSU graduate student conducting research along with Cameron at the Oregon National Primate Research Center. “This suggests that calories cause weight gain no matter when you eat them.” -comments on the result of a study that observed the eating pattern of monkeys for a year. -ScienceDaily

This is only 1 study on a few monkeys, and if you read on, researchers also made the following statement: Overall, this research shows that caloric intake does not specifically correlate to weight gain,” -Medical News Talk about throwing a monkey wrench into our beliefs on weight gain!

Some of our preliminary data presented at the 2005 Society for Neuroscience Meeting shows that a person’s activity level is a better predictor of weight gain and loss.

MY COMMENT: I am not buying into that last statement, however I do believe that it does not make much difference when you take in your calories. Just eat some popcorn or another low calorie snack if you are hungry at night. An extra 100 calories per day will add up over time if you do it consistently, so the key is to monitor weight and balance your intake appropriately when you begin seeing a gradual climb.

128025543256

Run at Destruction explores the true life love triangle between three teachers/runners in small town America and the eventual death of the wife in her own bathtub. Drews unfolds the drama brilliantly right through to the sentencing of the husband to life in prison and even an afterward from the mistress apologizing years later. Sent to prison, the husband and mistress still can’t let go and she becomes a prison bride. Readers are left to decide for themselves if it was murder, suicide or manslaughter by neglect. Run at Destruction is lust, murder and obsession delivered with the beat of a runner’s heart, as the theme of running is woven throughout. The book grabs at a large cross-section of readers because everyone can relate to the desire and often disaster that comes with affairs. This is true crime court drama and author Drews exposes the characters to such a depth that readers will feel like they are reading a novel, only, this really happened.

Weight Loss Does Not Have to be Expensive

May 2nd, 2009

Depending on where you live (and your penchant for amenities), gym memberships can cost upwards of $95 per month. Initiation fees, incremental price hikes, and extra charges to take that spinning class may jack up your annual outlay well over $1,200. And a session with a personal trainer typically costs around $40 to $50 a pop, though you might find a buy-in-bulk deal. Of course, if you’re willing to get creative in the name of the bad economy, there are several ways to help your workout weather the recession. -yahoo

MY COMMENT: I don’t believe you need to spend your hard earned dollars to lose body fat.

What is the best 25 minute workout?

March 21st, 2009

Years ago I lived near one end of a nice quiet boulevard in Florida that happened to be very close to 1 mile long. A friend of mine measured out and marked every 110 yards, so I had a perfect venue for a short, quality workout that I could complete in less than 30 minutes.

Here was my favorite- 5 minute warm-up, 1 mile to the other end as fast as I could, 5 minute recovery, run back as fast as I could. 5 minute cool-down. Total = 25 minutes

Other options for the workout 15 minute workout phase were to alternate 220 yards or 440 yards down and back, jogging 110 yards for recovery.

Do your strength and flexibility training in the evening.

Exercise Motivation Tip- Measure Something!

February 24th, 2009

If all you ever do is workout and subjectively note how you feel, you may never notice a difference and quickly get discouraged. For example, let’s say you started walking, and after a few weeks you did 1 mile in 17 minutes. Your heart rate goes up to 170 beats per minute. A month later you are in better shape and do the same mile in 16 minutes. Your heart rate again goes to 170 beats per minute.

Your fitness level has improved and you are able to do more work, but the effort feels the same. If you hadn’t bothered to time your walk, you would never realize the difference. That’s why it’s so important to measure something. You won’t feel great every time you work out, but your fitness level could still be improving. That’s positive reinforcement!

Finding a Goal Workout

February 23rd, 2009

Find a Goal workout
Specific goal workouts have always been a part of my workout plan. Throughout my years of running, I have stumbled upon many different kinds of “mini” goals. I invent a challenge and spend a month or two trying to achieve it.

Once I had a mile and a quarter stretch of road that I “raced” weekly. Over a period of about 2 months I dropped 30 seconds from my initial attempt. Another time I used a 2.5 mile loop. One summer I challenged myself to a particularly difficult uphill bike ride that I tried to finish in less than 60 minutes. It took me 4 attempts, but I finally did it.
Beginners could monitor steps per day measured with a pedometer, or timed walks around a specific distance. How long does it take you to burn 100 calories on the rower? Try it once, and then work on getting that time down. Remember, you should only test yourself once or at most twice a week. Work harder and guess what happens? Your fitness improves and your weight will eventually start to drop.
